Home at last... more work!

Going home last Friday, Domino came into the front seat a few times for variety. She watched the road and checked out passing car occupants...& barked when she saw"intruder dogs". Ten hours and 600 miles is a lot of "down time" for a dog! (Me, too!)

Checkers slept most of the way home, had little appetite

and just wanted to be at home ASAP!

A few times Dom activated her "Back seat driver" license

to help Al drive home.

When not "driving", she took over the larger dog bed.

We enjoyed seeing the mountains crowned in clouds

as we passed the Idaho mountains near Bonner Ferry, ID

We knew we were in Washington when we saw

this familiar warning at a viewpoint on the Columbia River.

Al wanted a photo with the river... Checkers, too!

We knew we were on the home stretch when we saw

"OUR MOUNTAIN", Mt Rainier, from a rest stop

in Eastern Washington!

Dorothy was right, you know? "There's NO PLACE like HOME!" So glad to be back in the saddle and back at "work". The cabin was a restful diversion, but we are glad to be home and back at work!

Books...

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. ~Groucho Marx

A good thot...

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.If you don't ask, the answer is always no.If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."--Nora Roberts ------------------------------------

The BIBLE SAYS in 3 John 4 -- "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."

The reverse thot is ALSO true: I have no greater SORROW than to hear that my children walk in DECEPTION and UNTRUTH. Nothing hurts a mom like seeing a disaster approach that is avoidable! KEEP IN PRAYER that God will open the eyes of your children before the disaster occurs!

Unanswered query from my mind...

Do I lay awake at night because I'm thinking, or am I thinking because I am laying awake at night?

The WORTH of a SMILE

A smile costs nothing, but creates much good.It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it away.It happens in a flash, but the memory of it can last forever.No one is so rich that he can get along without it.No one is too poor to feel rich when receiving it.It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad and nature’s best antidote for trouble.Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen.
